About Stacky Bird

The square bird is on a mission to fly to new lands. Build up a long chain of eggs and flap around obstacles to reach new levels and locations, with beautiful bird houses for you to claim.

How to play Stacky Bird

The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
